Week 5 reflection

This week I did my Pepeha and art around that.

Something I really enjoyed was completing my wordle about the America's Cup.

Something I found challenging was trying to finish my work in time and staying focused.

I have worked on my goals by practicing my essential maths, and trying to understand the text, and comprehending it.

The value of Mercy means understanding people from different P.O.V, I have shown this value by helping little kids if they have any problems, and taking care o them when crying or upset.

I am looking forward to Central zones next week and excited for more learning to come.

Week 4 Reflection

 The highlight of my week was Swimming sports.

Something I found challenging was taking care of the kids in my house group while the teachers were all on jobs at swimming.

Something I found successful was painting the Marcellin banner on Thursday for swimming sports, and all of the house group charts.

Something new that I learnt was our group reading Rongoa for the land, and learning fun and interesting fact about our land.

I am looking forward to going to central zones for Breathstroke, and Backstroke.

America's Cup 2021

This is my Wordle about the America's Cup, the words that made the wordle are words based on the America's Cup, some of them are the countries that are involved, the date it starts and ends, what it is, and where it is being held this year.

 

Mercy Values

 

Week 2 Reflection

The highlight of my week was becoming House Captain of Marcellin.

Something I found challenging was trying to finish my work in time.

Something that I found successful was our Mercy Values videos and slides.

Something new that I learnt was facts based around Waitangi, and the treaty puzzles that we were doing.

I am looking forward to learn more about Lent.

Week 1 Reflection

 At the start of this week I felt nervous of being in another class, excited to start school and make new friends.

The highlight of my week has been helping our priest by alter serving at a funeral, learning new prayers in class, making new friends.

Something I found challenging was alter serving, starting in a new class with a new teacher.

I am really looking forward to learning māori cultural things, doing more collaborative things with other classes, being involved in more leadership rolls this year.

Angles

 In class we have been learning about different angles, we have been learning the names of them, why we have different angles, and what is the difference between each of them. We have been doing whole class lessons on them and have been doing worksheets to understand them more.

Mrs Cutler found protractors for us to use to get the correct measurement and to figure out what it is, the 3 we have been  mainly working on is Acute, Obtuse, and right angle, the teacher taught us what the differences were, an Acute is an angle that is less than 90°, and Obtuse is an angle that is larger than 90°and less than 180°, and a right angle is  exactly on 90°.

How we use protractors is to measure from the the center semi circle and out, make sure that the 90° line I your middle point, if it isn't you would have incorrect measurement.

The symbol ° means degree, a degree is something you use when measuring angles and temperature, if you don't add the degree symbol then you would be marked wrong because if the answer was 50° people sometimes just put 50 and that could pretty much mean anything so you have to have the symbol when dealing with angles.

The worksheet we had to fill in looked kinda hard but once you knew how to use a protractor properly it became more understandable, the worksheet was a mix of Acutes, Obtuse, and Right Angles, so that is why we need to use the protractors, we then had a little break from angles.

Later on we went outside and Mrs Cutler  then told us to point out angles that we could see, the ones we saw we measured, she then told us to take a protractor and got around the school and try and find different angles and figure out what the angles is, Holly and I were buddies and we went around the school and we were mostly finding Right Angles, but we did eventually find a few Acutes.
